Hi George,

For most designs, like Rob mentioned, you really don't need long or deep drains for them to drain the gasket area. Also have to remember that the boat is rarely level and once it leans just a little the drains on the low side become much more effective. Mines are only about 1" long or so and drain that area quite well.
